Just FYI, if one felt that way, and as a result never paid attention to the words of songs by, say, Loreena McKennitt, one would have missed lyrics written by Tennyson, Yeats, St. John of the Cross, Sir Walter Scott, Shakespeare, Rumi, Homer and Dante. But none of those guys are probably worth your attention. :-)
